Book Reviews of Dry Days, Wet Nights (A Concept Book)

Book Review: Sweet and Sensitive
Summary: 5 Stars

The story is about Little Bunny (LB, for short), who really wants to stay dry all night but keeps waking up wet, confused, and sad. His parents are very supportive, telling him that when his body is ready, he will stay dry. By the end of the book, he does just that.

It's an adorable story, and a very sensitive treatment of the subject. My daughter was enthralled, and she smiled with delight when LB succeeded in staying dry all night.

I was really touched by the sensitivity with which LB's parents handled the situation, especially when they said LB didn't need to go back to wearing diapers since, "We don't mind washing your sheets in the morning if you don't mind changing your pajamas in the middle of the night." There was a lesson in that for me as well. After several months of doing extra laundry, I bought a package of training pants for my daughter. She was really disappointed, since she had long since graduated to big-girl underpants, but she reluctantly agreed to wear them. After reading the book to her tonight, I decided to back off on that and keep trying.

I know I'm not alone in feeling helpless when my child is unable to keep herself dry at night. This book offers a simple, sensitive way to reassure your child (and yourself) that this, too, shall pass.
